Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport in a nutshell

Las Vegas

Harry Reid International Airport is located 8 miles from downtown Las Vegas and is one of the busiest airports in the United States and the world.

Most of the traffic is domestic, with a few international connections to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, London, Frankfurt and Seoul.

The Las Vegas airport serves as one of the main hubs for Southwest, Allegiant, Spirit and Frontier.

From the non-public "Janet Terminal", flights depart to "Area 51", a top-secret U.S. Army research site shrouded in legend.

Until 2021, the airport was named "McCarran International Airport". It changed its name at the behest of local authorities due to allegedly controversial historical statements made by Senator McCarran during the 1940s and 1950s.
